Meringue Santa Hats Recipe

My grandkids love it when I make meringues shaped like Santa hats. If they are here, they love to help—they like to put red glitter on the meringue and take such pride in knowing they have helped Grandma.—Bonnie Hawkins, Elkhorn, Wisconsin

Ingredients

2 large egg whites

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup sugar

Red colored sugar

Directions

2. Preheat oven to 250°. Add cream of tartar and vanilla to egg whites; beat on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until stiff glossy peaks form.

3. Cut a small hole in the tip of a pastry bag or in a corner of a food-safe plastic bag; insert a #8 round tip. Fill bag with one-fourth of the meringue; set aside. Prepare a second piping bag, using a #12 round tip; fill with remaining meringue.

"I too tried these and everything went good until baking. All burned within 7 minutes of putting them in the oven at 250 degrees. Not happy with this recipe..Not sure how you could bake these for 40 minutes..I hate baking as it is and these definitely turned me off of baking again."

"I tried this and they scorched in 10 minutes. I had 3 pans in oven and turned temperature down to warm when I first noticed the smell of scorching. How did you bake these for 40 minutes?"
